Instead, an organization’s cybersecurity should be based on a proactive approach. All the threats targeting an organization are detected at the preparation stage. Modern cybersecurity solutions should not only carry out dynamic and static analysis of potentially malicious files, but also counteract a number of techniques that threat actors use to detect the threat analysis environment and bypass threat detection technologies.

There are millions of indicators like hashes, IPs, certificates. They are the dots, they themselves do not bring you much value, while connecting those dots and attributing them to a specific threat actor is paramount. It gives you a bigger picture and understanding of the depth of the attacks and adversaries’ further intent, based on historical data. Since the very beginning, we have been observing different threat actors and how they bring down some of the highly robust IT infrastructures, which has enabled us to progressively learn, develop an excellent understanding of their behaviour, tools, techniques and practices and formulate security prerequisites needed for resilient and effective cyber defence.
